#SCOTUS, final decision day before the summer recess, June 26, 2017.pic.twitter.com/IU8WOt0G4h
BREAKING: Supreme Court grants Masterpiece Cakeshop, the religious liberty case out of Colorado. #SCOTUS
BREAKING: Supreme Court grants summary reversal in Pavan v. Smith, reversing Arkansas Supreme Court in same-sex birth certificate case.
Gorsuch, joined by Thomas and Alito, dissents from the summary reversal in Pavan. #SCOTUS
#SCOTUS denies cert in Peruta, the California gun rights case. Thomas, joined by Gorsuch, dissents from the denial of cert.
#SCOTUS, in addition to Masterpiece Cakeshop — story here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/supreme-court-the-cake?utm_term=.ps8Mw3bQvg#.ftGvRl6box … — grants Digital Realty Trust, Inc. v. Somers.
No news on the #travelban in this morning's orders, meaning next time for possible action could be this afternoon, on the stay requests.
Meanwhile, Gorsuch's concurrence in Hicks v. US is Very Interesting.
Gorsuch also dissented to the denial of cert in Mathis v. Shulkin and urged the court to take up the questions in Bay Point Properties.
Here's the full orders list: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/062617zor_8759.pdf … #SCOTUS / Opinions coming in about 15 minutes.
NOTE: #SCOTUS, on a 5-4 vote (JR, CT, SA, NG dissenting) grants, vacates, remands death sentence in Toforest Johnson's case out of Alabama.
It's a three-box Monday for the final day at #SCOTUS. 6 cases remain (but up to 3 could be set for re-argument).
First #SCOTUS opinion is Justice Thomas with Davila v. Davis, siding against the capital murder defendant, in a 5-4 decision.
Breyer dissents, for him, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Decision in Davila: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-6219_i425.pdf …
This means any remaining opinions handed down today will be from Thomas, Kennedy, or the Chief Justice. #SCOTUS
2nd decision is California PERS v. ANZ Securities, with Kennedy affirming the Second Circuit. Another 5-4 decision, w liberals dissenting.
All remaining decisions will come from Kennedy or the Chief Justice. #SCOTUS
Trinity Lutheran. The Chief Justice writes the decision, holding Missouri's policy violates the Free Exercise Clause. #SCOTUS
Notably, CT & NG do not join footnote saying decision is only on discrimination based on religious identity, not religious uses of funding.
"This Court — has never before ..." Sotomayor is reading her Trinity dissent, in which she is joined by Ginsburg, from the bench. #SCOTUS
Breyer concurred in judgment in Trinity Lutheran, noting "particular nature of the 'public benefit' here at issue" (playground material).
3 remaining cases are all ones in which Gorsuch did not participate in argument bc he was not yet on #SCOTUS. We still have two boxes.
Not quite sure what is about to happen here, b/c only the Chief should be handing down any opinions. Re-arguments would ~appear~ likely.
But, there's still a lot of box space left!
BREAKING: SCOTUS rules on travel ban case, limiting the stay to those with a bona fide connection to persons in the US.
CORRECTED: #SCOTUS rules on travel ban case, limiting the injunctions to those with a bona fide connection to persons in the US.
Here's the per curiam decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-1436_l6hc.pdf …
#SCOTUS holds over Sessions v. Dimaya and Jennings v. Rodriguez to the next term.
#SCOTUS, in per curiam decision, tosses Hernandez v. Mesa back to the Fifth Circuit without resolving much of anything.
